NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nut package and not the nut package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in the addchar function in common/parseconf.c in upsd in Network UPS Tools (NUT) before 2.6.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (electric-power outage) via a long string containing non-printable characters.
